OP brings up a good point.

The news likes to allude to China's "genocide" in Xinjiang, but no one is dying.

At most they can stretch it to a "cultural genocide" but even that's not true as the native culture is not being repressed, only religious extremism.

However it is true that thousands of Palestinian civilians are being killed and those same media are afraid to call it out.

Your point is a good one actually, and it's why I didn't mention anything about genocide in Xinjiang. It's a grotesque political atrocity of social repression and culture eradication, but as far as any sources I've looked at go, the Chinese state isn't literally killing the Uyghers en masse as an ethnic or religious group.

Nonetheless, the deaths of civilians in the Gaza Strip also aren't a genocide. They could be defined as a war crime, or if you want to be really generous to Israel, as unfair collateral damage (a phrase I mostly detest in this context) but the Israeli state isn't deliberately targeting the Strip's ethnic Palestinian population for eradication.
